Our June selection for the HMTC's Louis Posner Memorial Library book club is "Once We Were Brothers," by Ron Balson.

Two boys, once as close as brothers, find themselves on opposite sides of the Holocaust, each struggling to survive in whatever way they can. Now, some 60 years later, a wealthy Chicago philanthropist is accused of being a former Nazi officer by a man who is sure he knows him. Is he right? Is this the poor abandoned child his family took in and raised as their own, the one who betrayed them all in the end?

As always, a limited number of copies of the book are available at the front desk at the HMTC. Please join us as we discuss one of the early beloved classics of Holocaust literature.
